Although QWEN has made such great achievements in the AI open source industry, the core team left and changed leadership as soon as Elon Musk personally praised it. It is likely that they were forced to leave by Alibaba's "value" orientation. Alibaba is a typical planned economy company that talks about value all day long and takes pride in challenging value. From P11 to P4, if you do anything within the company, you must explain the specific value of the matter clearly, and others must also challenge and question your value. Many times, a button adjustment of a trivial size requires a two-hour meeting of 10 people to debate and ultimately win or lose. Only when you clearly quantify it can you win or lose. The specific assessment KPI data indicators that bring corresponding value to the department and the group are only likely to pass the review meeting. So after working at Alibaba for a longer period of time, you will feel that the whole company is playing pranks, and there are scumbags everywhere. Five minutes ago, you were close colleagues working out together, but as soon as you entered the meeting room, you would break up with each other without recognizing each other. Of course, the advantage is that it allows the company's resources to be used in productive directions without wasting them, and everyone's work ultimately serves the overall goals of the company, such as last summer's food delivery battle and Taobao flash sale victory. However, the disadvantage is that as mentioned earlier, the entire company will move towards a serious planned economy, because anything that you cannot explain its specific value but is truly valuable will be challenged and questioned by all colleagues, leaders, and subordinates around you. And many things that transcend time are derived from these vague correctness. In fact, several years ago, Alibaba also had its own Bell Labs called Damo Institute, which spent a lot of money to hire a group of scientists from Google, Microsoft, and top universities around the world. They did not need to serve any business sector and provided sufficient resources for research. But after Pinduoduo's surprise attack on Alibaba, the entire company was filled with crisis, and the basic business was almost unstoppable. Therefore, the entire company began to cut off departments that only burn money, and everyone focused on assessing the value of their business. So the qwen team at Alibaba is like a county magistrate marrying a beautiful, knowledgeable, and reasonable mistress. Bringing her out can be embarrassing, but every day when she comes home, she can't touch her. Apart from providing emotional value, she doesn't provide you with physiological value. In the end, both of them can't look at each other. In fact, in the final analysis, the Chinese Internet companies represented by Ali can't get a monopoly like Google to do global business and get continuous cash flow, and they are rich enough to support basic research that has no business output in the short term. The ByteDance, because of the existence of Tiktok, really hopes to break the game.
